"Bill Stout is one of the most prolific and truly under appreciated artists of our time. Every page of Fantastic Worlds reminds you that he had a hand in shaping the look of the last four decades of film across just about every genre imaginable. Without knowing it, we’ve been surrounded by his work and now we get to do a deep dive into his world and I couldn’t be more excited."
